Abstract

The research on rural hollowing is necessary for policy making related to rectifying hollow villages in the Rural Revitalization Strategy. In this context, Sichuan was chosen as a typical region to explore the spatial–temporal features and relevant factors of rural hollowing. The results show that (1) from 2010 to 2018, rural hollowing shows a downward trend. The average of comprehensive hollowing dropped by 0.028, and 119 counties have a decrease in the degree of comprehensive hollowing. (2) During the same study period, the regional characteristics of the rural hollowing degree were significant. High and higher degrees of comprehensive hollowing have an obvious decrease in number and have a trend of agglomeration in Central Sichuan. High and higher degrees of land hollowing have an obvious decrease in number, and they were mainly distributed in Northwest Sichuan in 2018. The degree of population hollowing gradually increases from west to east, and high and higher degrees of population hollowing have a significant increase in number, mainly concentrated in East Sichuan. The degree of economic hollowing has obvious spatial characteristics from west to east, and high and higher degrees of economic hollowing have an increase in number, mainly concentrated in Chengdu Plain. (3) During the same study period, the spatial distribution characteristics of rural hollowing degree at the county level in Sichuan Province were obvious. The high-value clustering is mainly concentrated in Chengdu Plain Economic Zone, and the range of clustering is decreasing. Low-value clustering was mainly distributed in Northeast Sichuan Economic Zone and Northwest Sichuan Economic Zone. (4) Rural hollowing in Sichuan Province is negatively correlated with average elevation and per capita arable land area; rural hollowing is positively correlated with urbanization rate and industrial output value.
